Ian's 10th Birthday/Thanksgiving Celebration 2012

Happy Thanksgiving 2012

First off - had a Birthday potluck 11/20/12. Good friend turned the BIG 3-0... Found this diy cake pop project - that I just had to try. I used Red Velvet Cake, white chocolate coating and some decorations. Viola - yummy and cute snacks.

 

Happy 30th Birthday Girl! ;) (she wants to be anonymous)

Thanksgiving is extra special this year - not only is it the day we give "THANKS" for all that we have in our lives - it is my youngest son's 10th Birthday!... Yay - my baby is double digits old! We will have a small party for him at lunch and spend our yearly Thanksgiving Dinner with my inlaws at Prince Court that night. Bleh... eating all day and night. Then ofcourse - start shopping the BLACK FRIDAY DEALS..!!!

 

 

 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

 

Double Baby Shower!

Thought I'd share some of the crafts I made for the Double Baby Shower we had today for  Bing & Nancy at Old Spaghetti Factory. It turned out pretty good, although we RUSHED the games...a little... I'm glad everyone had fun. Both gals are having BOYS in January 2013! Congrats to them both. They'll both be great mothers.

The prizes - had some leftover clothes pins - made them into magnets

The Centerpieces were tissue covers and I made these diaper cakes for the gals
Can't see it clearly - but crochet a hat and baby bunting, and sewed (yes you heard me -sewed) some flannel pieces onto some burp clothes.

The Favor - snack popcorn/lollipop and our Guess the Baby game (that was fun)

I haven't been to OLD Spaghetti Factory since the 90'z...and the food was just as good as I remembered. Although I kinda wanted to order the Italian Soda!!! Darn... well I'm forcing my hubby to bring me next time.. (won't take no for answer!)

It was a such a nice party - it was therapeutic to get together with my co-workers in a NON-STRESSFUL environment!
And I'm on a short vacay! YAY!
 

Halloween Goodies - a little more

Yummies for Ian's Class - didn't break my promise - I told him no goodie bags - but bked cupcakes instead.

Goodies for my peeps at work. ;)

Happy Fall Ya'll

It's Fall already - meaning it's Halloween once again.  I've been so so so busy lately and kinda STRESSED.  Usually crafting -DE-STRESSES me - but well... work has been occupying pretty much ALOT of my time - so CRAFTING came second.  (and therefore... my stress has been increasing as a result... ) However..I did squeeze in some time this weekend... I wish I could have done more... Tomorrow - after work - I plan to make some treats... ;) (if I'm NOT too tired-we'll see)

Goodie bags for Ian's neighborhood friends - I'm NOT allowed to give goodie bags for his classmates (He'll be too embarrassed)....
Also forgot to show the crochet ribbon lei I gave to a good friend that recently moved to the mainland a few weeks ago.



Made some goodie bags for some little girls that I know. My boys are too OLD for goody bags
 (as my youngest told me)

 

Have a Safe Halloween - and remember to BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!

Tissue Box covers

Found something new to do. Made Tissue Box Covers out of scrapbook papers. It was pretty fun and easy to make. One was made for a friend as a "thank you" gift.  The other is for an upcoming baby Shower in November - it will be the centerpieces.

Bereavement Card

 

Another one of my co-worker's loved one has passed on. It was a really sad year - this is the 3rd Bereavement card I'd made for a Father that had moved on.... Below is the card.
